BEDFORD, Ohio -- The body of a 15-year-old boy was pulled from Tinker's Creek Monday, some two days after he went missing while swimming, officials said.

Bedford Fire Chief David Nagy said the boy's body was found about 10:30 a.m. in the creek at the bottom of a bridle trail just off the Egbert picnic area in the Cleveland Metroparks' Bedford Reservation.

"That was the goal these last few days was to find him and give the family some closure," Nagy said.

The teen was swimming with a group near Viaduct Park Saturday evening when he got caught in the current, officials said.

The group was swimming above a shale formation that looks like a waterslide. A search team scoured the area but called off the search Saturday night due to darkness.

They searched again for several hours on Sunday but called off the search because of the dangerous and fast-moving currents.

The search team went back to the site about 8 a.m. Monday and found the boy after searching for a few hours, Nagy said.

Members of the Bedford fire department, Cleveland Metroparks officials and specialized search-and-rescue crews like the Hillcrest Technical Rescue Team all participated in the search.
